Arsenal are 10 points better off than last season in the equivalent results after winning tonight. City are 11 points better off. If both teams match last season's results to the end of the season, the points tallies will be:

84 Arsenal
82 Man City

Arsenal's xG tonight was 0.43 - the lowest we have posted in a game this season. Nice to win a match like this for a change.

Only two of the last 10 Premier League meetings between Brighton and Arsenal have been won by the home side (three draws, five away wins).

Only Manchester City have scored more goals from open play than Arsenal in the Premier League this season.

This is a great piece with some cracking lines. It's so true that people think things aren't what they used to be.

Bukayo Saka has either scored (two) or assisted (two) in each of his last four Premier League games against Brighton.

Incredible scramble at the Etihad at the end of the game and a clearance off the line by Murillo which could prove critical come the end of the season.

How is Gomez not sent off for a 2nd Yellow there?

Why hasn't Arteta changed anything? I'm making more of a contribution than Martinelli sitting on my sofa. Several others are barely in the game. There's no composure, no cohesion.

Arsenal have had just 24% possession since the 30th minute. Really under the cosh and just giving the ball back to Brighton. Felt like they were hanging on already. Arteta needs to change something to get a grip on the game and exert some control for the second half.

04.03.2026 20:34 β€” πŸ‘ 48    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 7    πŸ“Œ 2

Arsenal have completed just 76% of their passes in the first half. The lowest pass completion they have posted this season in a full game was 74% against Man Utd on the opening day of the campaign.
